eBay rip -- personal record *shattered*

This auction caught my eye as having an neat collection of unusual pieces. I figured it was surely worth a hundred or two, and I bid that, but was immediately overbid. So I asked the seller if I could get a pic of the reverses. I figured that if the nickel had a mintmark, I could bid a little higher.
The nickel didn't have a mintmark.
The dime did.
I've been on pins and needles all week waiting for the coins to arrive, and they showed up today. That 1860 dime is really an 1860-O. I expect it'll come back as AU-58 from PCGS.
And, in the "oh, yeah" category, that 1870 dime is really a 1870-S, and the 1864 cent is really a 1864-L FS-006.7 repunched date.
It's going to be a LONG time before I top that one, ya think?
A *VERY* happy camper tonight!

YOU SUCK!
If that '60-O dime is authentic, this may be the mother of all rips.

You can say that again. Getting to sleep has been interesting, but it's definitely been a fun week!
